Re-Introduction to the Data Life Cycle

This course will begin by discussing the Data Management Planning work from the previous day, encouraging conversation about differences across disciplinary data. It will then move on and discuss details of the data life cycle, the FAIR principles of data (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable), and introduce Git (a system for tracking changes in source code) and Open Science Framework (OSF) as helpful data management tools. The session will conclude by preparing everyone for the next session, which will include having an OSF and Git account.
